I wonder if a high density head could be used on a low density machine. I'd think the
main difference would be track width. If the signal levels were similar it might work.

I don't remember now if these parts I have
were from drives originally
on a DEC or DG system.
The easy way to tell is the low density heads have metal instead of
ceramic disks.
If anyone has the older metal style, Carl Claunch is trying to find some.
